I have been waiting a whole year to share more of my photos from my October trip last year. By the time I got back, Halloween was over though I did show you the HalloWishes fireworks show and how to photograph it. Next Friday, I will again be going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Along with HalloWishes, I will be watching the “Boo-To-You” parade.
Before the parade last year, I enjoyed the dead-pan funny jokes and songs of the Cadaver Dans. You might recognize them.

During the party, the Haunted Mansion gets additional and spookier lighting, sound and atmospheric effects. Haunted Mansion cast members are even more in character on these special nights with additional makeup. There are entertaining ghosts outside in the mansion’s courtyard who are curious about the living souls walking past the graveyard. I think I will stop and see if a ghost can be photographed.

HI SCOTT. AWESOME PHOTOS.
DOES THE HAUNTED MANSION LOOK LIKE THAT OR DID YOU ENHANCE IT ON YOUR COMPUTER? IF IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT, IS IT ONLY DURING THE PARTY OR THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HALLOWEEN SEASON? THANK YOU.

Scott replies: Hi, Karen! They only add the extra lighting, fog and an entertaining ghost during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween parties. More great effects can be found at Pirates of the Caribbean. I did tint the grey sky but the colors on the Haunted Mansion look like this.
